$63 million California Lottery jackpot expires ThursdayNews Story
Like a magical horse-drawn carriage that transforms into a pumpkin at midnight, someone's winning $63-million lottery ticket is about to turn into a worthless scrap of paper, according to California Lottery officials. A winning SuperLotto Plus ticket purchased at a Chatsworth convenience store in August has yet to be redeemed at a California Lottery office, even though a deadline is fast approaching. If the lucky winner fails to show up at a lottery office by 5 p.m. Thursday, they will for

Some lawmakers say Hawaii lottery has a chance this yearNews Story
It comes up nearly every legislative session, but could this be the year that Hawaii lawmakers legalize gambling with a lottery? Both House and Senate lawmakers have introduced bills that would establish a state-run lottery, including keno. Officials say attempts at some form of gaming have been around since 1887 none of which have been successful, but some lawmakers believe the political climate and public perspective has shifted enough that the odds are in their favor. You have the L

HI guys I am working on estimating the number of lines that one would need to play to win based on the players step hit rates. Those who are using the steps should track the number of steps that they hit overall and by position if interested. For number games this number may be higher than you might expect but it will depend on how your doing with the steps. Although this number may be higher than you think it should be far lower then the published odds for the game. Using the

Just found me a Pyramid Goldmine P-3 SystemReply
Bob It's not the math but the way he beats people over the head with it and the demeaning comments he ends with. I know the math as well as he does but I don't feel the need to belittle those who have not worked the problems through. I make assumptions that don't turn out the way I thought all the time. Some ideas however flawed can and do produce wins but most are short lived so the player needs to be aware that these sort of methods can stop working at any time. When they stop

I'd recommend you go over to the Predictions section of Lottery Post and note that anyone who posts a sufficient number of predictions sees their winnings regress to the mean, meaning they lose 1/2 their amount bet in a game where the house has a 50% edge. Take a note of how many people are in the Predictions list and then note that a small handful have net gains and each of those persons has a relatively small number of bets that included a substantial prize. There is a reason for that,

quiz pick-4 daily game oddsReply
Jade I built a calculator to get my values and the way it works is to first calculate the number of lines needed to cover the number of matches then it divides, 10,000/36=277.778. In your post above your odds for a matching-3 positional digits is listed as 1 in 276.778. I figured it was just a typo. I don't understand the calculation for matching 0 digits as I get 10,000/6,561 = 1 in 1.524. My calculations to cover each match from 0 to 4 0 = 6,561 1 = 2916 2 = 486 3 =

Thanks again tgirl. What are the odds that longest due SS on both P3 P4 show up at the same time? Update: Digit out is 0 7. SS due 7 1 4. 7 1 recently hit. New SS due 8 0 4. 4 was last drawn back in 12/18, so it overdue. Digit 9 was last drawn as the lead # on 1/3, 9 also appeared as the mid digit back in 12/21. Woe! I see Digit 9 is overdue both in P3 P4. GL! 4 5 2 1 2 9 6 7 1 0 8 4 644 due SS 4 2 4 6 638 day 1/12 Due all even vtrac SS 7 7 3 3

I Maintain that the Theory Any Powerball Combo can Win Is BSReply
A couple years ago PA had a drawing with the numbers 1-2-3-4-5. I think there were thousands of winners who all won a few bucks. Playing consecutive numbers is a bad idea for this reason but as far as the odds go, it's a possibility and as such it can and does happen. These sort of sets look impossible to show but that's purely an illusion. Take any set you choose and the chances are that it has never been drawn by any lottery. If we look we can find lines that have hit more than onc

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly To The Powerball Rolling Over...Reply
Power ball is a high stakes game and is what it is. Changing the number of lines drawn would devalue the game and we would not have such large jackpots. You would be better off to play another game with lower odds. Here where I live we have a 6-44 that starts at 1 million and grows until someone wins. 6-44 $1.00 play = 2 lines $3,529,526 expected cost to win 5-69+1of26 *$2.00 play = $584,402,676 expected cost to win $584,402,676 / $3,529,526 = 165.575 One could expect to wi
